Greetings from Wattpad Chronicle team!
It's beginning to look - and feel! - a lot like spring in the Northern Hemisphere and we are not going to lie, we are thrilled about it. What's even more exciting is that in Roman mythology, people associated springtime with a woman; goddess Flora, a symbol of nature, flowers, and spring. So it's settled - Spring is a woman and that thought alone brings us so much joy for some reason!
To make things even better, the month of March is also known as Women's History Month. This year, our team decided to celebrate women's history to the fullest and to offer you life stories of many phenomenal and persistent women who fought - or are still fighting - for a better future and equal opportunities for every woman in this world.
With all that said, we hope you, people of Wattpad, will join us on this march of empowerment!
And what we'll write about beside all which is pointed out above? Here's a sneak peak of what we have in store for you:
🌷 Chronicle Spotlight: The newest batch of hand-picked stories for all of you to enjoy!
🌷 Poetry Corner: Special Edition.
🌷 Chronicle Articles: Celebrating world wide events, other happenings, and important days in history.
